3. Partners

3.1 Operational presence of implementing partners

Below is an interactive table which adds detail to the map above, serving additional information for coordination – allowing interested parties to search by county or partner.

The column #Activities refers to the number of Education activities implemented by said partner in each county. Each column can be sorted with the arrows next to each column name. Each column can also be filtered by typing into the search bar below each column name. Only completed activities have been included.

4. Schools and education level

4.1 Schools

The number of schools reached by school feeding programmes and WASH in schools interventions to-date are:

However, reporting the overall number of schools reached by all EiE interventions is much more challenging.

Whilst all partners working on indicators 2 and 4 submitted the number of schools they were working in, the same is not true for the other indicators. Only indicators 2 and 4 require the reporting of the number of schools.

4.2 Education level

The data collected on education level is muddled: the combination of various categories (such as ECE & Primary and All Basic Education) hampers a clean breakdown by education level:

Children reached by education level

education_level	children	%_of_total
Primary	247,601	55.04
ECE & Primary	134,071	29.80
All Basic Education	26,104	5.80
ECE	24,084	5.35
Secondary	17,976	4.00
Vocational	23	0.01
Tertiary	20	0.00

For instance, it is not possible to calculate the number of children served from primary-level institutions.

To understand reporting around the mismatch of education-level categories, let us examine individual indicators. In the plot below, children reached have been broken down by education level and by indicator. The category All Basic Education, whilst present in all of the indicators, is most heavily used in the WASH-in-schools intervention. Additionally, this indicator is used by 5 different implementing partners.

5. Reference maps and tables

5.1 Reference maps

IPC data extracted from here.

5.2 Reference table

Download the EiE 5Ws data here

As a refresher for the reference table below, the indicators are:

indicator
indicator 1 # of children and youth accessing ECD spaces/schools in drought affected areas
indicator 2 # of schools/ECD spaces with feeding programmes
indicator 3 # of learners and teachers reached with learning and teaching materials
indicator 4 # of schools with adequate quantites of safe water for drinking and personal hygiene
indicator 5 # of teachers / educators trained on resilience enhancing programmes (MHPSS, DRR & Life Skills, etc)
indicator 6 # of children and youth benefiting from resilience enhancing programmes (MHPSS, DRR & Life Skills, etc)

5.3 Reporting quality

5.3.1 Sub-counties

For several entries, there is more than one sub-county per row

County	Sub_county	Total_reached
Baringo	Marigat, Tiaty West	351
Garissa	Dadaab	356
Garissa	Dadaab	1,558
Wajir	Habasweine, Bute, Eldas, Sabuli, Buna, Korondile	190
Tana River	Tana River, Tana North, Bangal	557
Tana River	Tana River, Tana North, Bangal	3,769

With reference to the extract from the 5Ws above, analysis and reporting is at the sub-county level for the 86% of beneficiaries who were reported without this type of error. However, until this issue is resolved, making any sub-county-level maps or products will necessarily exclude a sizeable portion of the beneficiaries reached.

86% of beneficiaries reported with one sub-county per row

One_sub_county	Total_reached	%_Total
TRUE	410,171	85.53
FALSE	62,673	13.07
NA	6,744	1.41

In the proposed revision to the 5W template, the sub-county column has been revised to be a dropdown list dependent on the input in the county column. Going forward, only one sub-county should be reported per row.

5.3.2 Schools

The next step is to move from entering the names of schools to just entering the number of schools per intervention. The schools_text column below is data entered into 5Ws template. The column is currently a mix of names of schools and number of schools. It is best to collect only the number of schools and have the names be included in the comments.

Schools column is a mix of text and numbers

Schools_text	Schools_number
Eldas pry, Dela pry, Elnur pry, Habasweine pry and Tosorie pry	5
23	23
Lailangi, Laaria, Mumui, Rei and Victor Besone Pri Sch	5

It is still valuable to collect school names and match them to the list of school codes and geocoordinates, especially for site-level monitoring, but that is a step to be taken once the format of school names being collected has been standardised.

5.3.3 Education level

As reported in an earlier section of the document, it is currently not possible to have a clean breakdown of beneficiaries reached by education level:

Children reached by education level

education_level	children	%_of_total
Primary	247,601	55.04
ECE & Primary	134,071	29.80
All Basic Education	26,104	5.80
ECE	24,084	5.35
Secondary	17,976	4.00
Vocational	23	0.01
Tertiary	20	0.00

In the updated template, the options All Basic Education and Primary/ECE have been removed and partners are requested to only select one education level per row.
